Four K-POP groups, including n.SSign and JUST B, will perform at the Sapporo Snow Festival on February 7, 2026.

n.SSign, ONE PACT, TIOT, and JUST B have been confirmed to perform at the official sponsored event of the Sapporo Snow Festival, '76th Sapporo Snow Festival 17th KPF 2026', to be held on February 7, next year (Saturday). The four boy groups that have been decided are elite boy groups formed mainly by members recognized for their abilities in various audition programs. This decision to feature them includes a headliner slot selected by KPF, a first-ever public application slot directly requested from their agencies, and a rookie slot determined by global fan voting, attracting interest not only from fans in Japan but also from overseas K-POP fans regarding the lineup announcement. Among them, the globally recognized 'global icon' n.SSign, representing the fourth generation with outstanding singing and dancing skills, has been cast as a headliner. n.SSign, who won the global audition program 'Youth Star', also performed at the main event in 2023 and, despite not having officially debuted, successfully held a solo Zepp tour in five locations across Japan, officially debuting in August 2023. In November, they held their first arena performance, attracting 24,000 spectators across three shows, proving their popularity. Expanding their global activities centered around Korea and Japan, n.SSign is increasing their presence as a next-generation K-POP leader with both musicality and performance skills. After energetically traveling across Japan, n.SSign is returning to Sapporo, a place filled with memories, for the first time in three years. Behind n.SSign's remarkable growth is the constant support and love from their fans, known as COSMO. Many COSMO fans have passionately supported them since the audition program, making this reunion highly anticipated for fans, and n.SSign shares the same sentiment. They have longed to return to Sapporo, where they have many nostalgic and good memories with COSMO! This wish of n.SSign and COSMO will come true after three years. Notably, Robin and Lawrence, who joined as official members after their debut, will be landing in Sapporo for the first time, making February a warm winter for both n.SSign and COSMO, despite the cold. Expectations are high for n.SSign's growth stage, having honed their skills through various experiences. The rookie slot determined by global fan voting, 'Sapporo Snow Festival KPF Rookie Challenge Cup', was won by the six-member boy group JUST B, who debuted in 2021. Five out of the six members come from audition programs 'I-LAND', 'UNDER19', and 'THE FAN', making JUST B a super talented group with excellent visuals, born during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their title track 'DAMAGE' from their 1st mini-album 'JUST BURN' was written, composed, and arranged by Bang Yongguk from B.A.P. The energetic lyrics convey a message of overcoming darkness and pain together, embodied through powerful vocals, rap, and precise choreography, captivating audiences with their high-quality performance. JUST B, which resonates with the concerns of the MZ generation through their diverse talents and meaningful songs, has also faced many challenges as a group debuting during the pandemic. The presence of ONLY B (the fan name) has been significant in supporting them during tough times. As shown by ONLY B, they share a unique bond with their fans, and the deep trust between JUST B and ONLY B has been proven. Fans wish for JUST B to shine on the prestigious 'KPF' stage, and their dedicated love and unity were the driving force behind their first-place finishes in both the preliminary and final votes. Attention is drawn to JUST B's fiery passion and energy that will melt the snow during their first performance in Sapporo. The second group confirmed to perform, having secured second place in the global fan voting for the rookie slot, is the five-member boy group ONE PACT, who debuted in 2023. This multinational boy group has garnered attention from survival programs 'BOYS PLANET', 'High School Rapper 4', and 'LOUD', creating buzz even before their debut. As 'self-producing idols' who handle everything from music production to choreography and music videos, ONE PACT stands out among the fifth generation of K-POP with their dynamic performances and strong presence. Their group name 'ONE PACT' is a combination of 'ONE' and 'IMPACT', and true to their name, they are advancing to become a unified force that delivers an 'impact' to the world. They will kick off their first North American tour, 'THE NEW WAVE 2025 ONE PACT NORTH AMERICA TOUR', starting September 26, visiting eight major cities in the U.S. and Canada, continuing to engage with local fans known as '&♡', and expanding their fandom across borders. Don't miss the moment when the talents of ONE PACT, fueled by their fans' passionate support, come together during their first performance in Sapporo. The fourth group is TIOT, a five-member boy group that debuted in April 2024, selected from the first public application in KPF history. Following the announcement of the public application, there was a strong demand from fans on social media, leading their agency to respond to the active calls from LOTI (the fan name) and resulting in their selection to perform. TIOT, which consists of elite members who gained attention from the survival program 'BOYS PLANET', stands for 'Time Is Our Turn', embodying their strong will to overcome the regrets from the auditions and declare, 'Now it's our turn'. They pre-debut with a remake of Click-B's '百戦無敗' released in 2001 as their title track, and within 14 days of their debut, they were nominated for first place on 'THE SHOW', firmly establishing their presence. Afterward, the youngest member, Shin Yechan, joined, and since their official debut, they have rapidly expanded their activities to Korea, Japan, and Europe, quickly growing their global fandom. Witness the stage of these five individuals who possess both individuality and talent, marking a new chapter in K-POP during their first performance in Sapporo. 'Sapporo Snow Festival KPF' has previously featured rising artists like BTS, (G)I-DLE, NCT127, NCT DREAM, and SHINee, who made their first appearances in Sapporo and later achieved great success, being regarded as a 'gateway to good fortune for K-POP stars'. Will this event serve as a stepping stone for groups to soar? This time, the event will feature four groups composed mainly of audition program participants. Therefore, there are members who have previously faced the same audition program and are now reuniting on stage as different teams. The tears, cheers, happy memories, and regrets from that moment are all converging now, transcending time and space, at the '76th Sapporo Snow Festival 17th KPF 2026'. Don't miss this moment where friendship and sparks intersect. The 17th edition of this traditional event will deliver a more exciting LIVE experience than ever before, with diverse performances showcasing each artist's charm and revival stages that pay respect to past 'Sapporo Snow Festival KPF (K-POP FESTIVAL)' events.
